Partners in Crime is listed as a permanent meta, but I can't find it when I go to try to play a match. Does anyone know what's going on here?

It's not a permanent meta anymore, and that was an oversight

Indeed, I had been wanting to try it for quite a bit, but today (or yesterday, I don't remember) I realized that it had something I really wanted that wasn't in Almost Any Ability (my current favorite format), and for the kinds of strategies I want to make, PiC seems to be much better than AAA. I really hope PiC becomes a permaladder again.
 
Is there a way to check damage calculations for OMs that don’t already have them available?
Mainly asking in regards to things like Frantic Fusion or Cross Evolution

Without a dedicated calculator the only way to calc is to manually insert the stats and ability of your fused mon in the Pokemon calc. It is kinda clumsy and slow but beyond that the only option.
 
why exactly is substitute Eternamax illegal in sword/shield pure hackmons? are there any writeups detailing this interaction & when was it discovered?

We've made Sub Eternamax illegal in SwSh Pure Hackmons because one of our premier battle mechanics researchers, DaWoblefet, has found that Eternamax using Substitute crashes the game in
(start checking at 24:50). Simulating crashes is difficult, so making the combination illegal is the next best thing.

Anyone up for checking what happens if Eternamax gets Baton Passed a Substitute?

is there any nice ui alternative for displaying changed pokemon stats for metagames where there is such a mechanic (like for frantic fusions)?

Is not possible to add the changes to teambuilder at the time unless someone can find a good way to code it, so your only options are the chat commands (in FF case is /fuse, all formats have one that usually refers its name, /mnm, /reevo, /ce, /flip, /ns) just write it in any room or PM yourself on showdown, and it explains itself on how to use it.

Would it be possible to make a Pure Hackmons game end in a draw whenever it would crash in a real Pokemon game? Or is that not how crashes work?

It would not be convenient to be able to force a draw at any time by pressing a button for reasons I feel don't need an explanation, for starters it would make it impossible to be chosen as a ladder.
 
Am I stupid or how can I add items to the newly usable Pokemon in Formemons? I tried adding a focus sash to mega banette or a charcoal to primal ground but it just keeps telling me I need their special item to use them, despite it being a format that allows any item on them
